It is not a new dish, most of us know how to cook lasagna, it is an Italian dish which is very popular here in Australia.  Thanks to the Italian community from their generosity of sharing their recipes and teaching us about their fresh, abundant produce and delicious cooking.

To serve: slice and serve hot for four people for a first course, then follow by a meat, chicken or fish dish with a salad or vegetables.  That is the standard practice for Italian daily meals.

On that note, I wish to say hi to the Ferrarretto's family, thanks for the good times and for teaching me how to cook and to serve Italian dishes.  It was so much fun, and I had learnt a lot in 1974, and now I still keep on learning.

The vegetable lasagna is my interpretation, and you are all welcome to try to cook it, you don't need a recipe, but a little guide as I wrote above may make the cooking easier.
Have fun and be creative in the kitchen and enjoy.
